Beadstrology™

I'm always on the look-out for cool new ideas, and this one really intrigued me so much that I purchased the tutorial. If you are into astrology, you will really like it too.

Beadstrology™ combines astrology with the craft of beading in a very creative way. The process of making this necklace will help you understand your birth chart better as your planets, signs and houses take shape in your hands. The finished piece will be a representation or map of the heavens when you were born.

Once you've gathered together all the materials & tools you need, it should only take you and hour or two to complete. The instructions are simple enough for a beginner beader to understand, yet the results will please any level of beading enthusiast. There are plenty of photos to guide you and the instructions are clear & concise.

Included with your tutorial is a Gemstone Bead Suggestion chart to help you select the right beads for the sun, moon and all the planets. There is also a page that will help you read your birth chart. If you don't have a copy of your birth chart, you can purchase one from the Beadstrology™ website.

Never one to be heavy into astrology, this project is still on my 'TO DO' list because the concept of it appeals to me. Beadstrology™ designs & tutorials were developed & written by Corrine Kenner, the author of 'Crystals for Beginners'. For more information or to purchase the tutorial go to....
